He was born on February 5, 1957, in Voronezh. He received higher education at the Faculty of Architecture of the Voronezh Institute of Civil Engineering. He is now a designer and master cabinetmaker. In his youth, he read Yevgeny Yevtushenko's poem "Bratsk Hydroelectric Station" and, deeply impressed, "took up the pen." Twice, still in Soviet times, he attempted to publish in the magazines "Youth" and "Spark" – but alas, after rejections, he abandoned writing for a long time. In 2010, when joining the regional writers' union "Military Commonwealth," he published two collections of early poems – "Reflections" and "Glimmers." Since 2015, having become an active (hundreds of thousands of readings) internet user, he "got into writing" and is ready to publish a 4-volume collection.
